Total number of applicantas = 9
Accepted applicants = 2
Not accepted applicants = 9-2 = 7

Now, if new not accepted applicants are x then accepted applicants are 360. To keep the ratio constant, the following equation must be satisfied:
[tex]\frac{2}{7}=\frac{360}{x}\\x=\frac{7}{2}\times 360\\x=1260[/tex]
